Focus Your Attention, Friend (Free verse) by AnotherNothing
Focus your attention, friend
On the contract I form here
For you will sign your life away
As it slides beneath your tears
I can offer you a house you want
But I lack one for the heart
You can have the means to live
Just no opportunity to start
You may have a wife and child
But whom you'll never get to see
Supporting and abandoning them
With a petty job of misery
Don't contemplate alternatives
For I'm confident you will find
Idealistic fallacies
In those inside your mind
Please don't ask my name or reason
For I find them quite a shame
Although they call me life, I'm only
What they choose to frame.
